Administrators' newsletter – May 2022
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2022).

- Following an RfC, a change has been made to the administrators inactivity policy. Under the new policy, if an administrator has not made at least 100 edits over a period of 5 years they may be desysopped for inactivity.
- Following a discussion on the bureaucrat's noticeboard, a change has been made to the bureaucrats inactivity policy.
- The ability to undelete the associated talk page when undeleting a page has been added. This was the 11th wish of the 2021 Community Wishlist Survey.
- A public status system for WMF wikis has been created. It is located at https://www.wikimediastatus.net/ and is hosted separately to WMF wikis so in the case of an outage it will remain viewable.
- Remedy 2 of the St Christopher case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to place a ban on single-purpose accounts who were disruptively editing on the article St Christopher Iba Mar Diop College of Medicine or related pages from those pages.
Orphaned non-free image File:DayZ Standalone Logo.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:DayZ Standalone Logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:14, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

You know Zotero or citoid?
I have just had an interesting and inspiring discussion at the Teahouse, and I thought you might be able to help me further on. Do you know Zotero and citoid, or someone who knows Zotero and citoid who I could ask for help, suggest, inspire a work? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:11, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Paradise Chronicle: I only know as much as has been explained to you at the Teahouse already, unfortunately. Are you looking for someone to create a translator for you? Sam Walton (talk) 22:15, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
- Yes :) If this is possible. It would make something really very much more pleasant for me. But if there is no one, there is no problem as well. You mentioned the Phabricator once. Is it maybe something for the Phabricator? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 22:21, 25 May 2022 (UTC)

- Several areas of improvement collated from community member votes have been identified in the Universal Code of Conduct Enforcement guidelines. The areas of improvement have been sent back for review and you are invited to provide input on these areas.
- Administrators using the mobile web interface can now access Special:Block directly from user pages. (T307341)
- The IP Info feature has been deployed to all wikis as a Beta Feature. Any autoconfirmed user may enable the feature using the "IP info" checkbox under Preferences → Beta features. Autoconfirmed users will be able to access basic information about an IP address that includes the country and connection method. Those with advanced privileges (admin, bureaucrat, checkuser) will have access to extra information that includes the Internet Service Provider and more specific location.
- Remedy 2 of the Rachel Marsden case has been rescinded following a motion. The remedy previously authorised administrators to delete or reduce to a stub, together with their talk pages, articles related to Rachel Marsden when they violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy.
- An arbitration case regarding WikiProject Tropical Cyclones has been closed.

LTA Knowledgebase
Hi, I'm not sure if you remember me but I've returned. I was looking at LTA related things because I was planning on getting back into it and noticed your proposal for an LTA knowledgebase back in 2017. From what I could find, it looks like there was consensus to implement a knowledgebase but it was left at "who gets access?" I was wondering if you could let me know if there are any updates to this that I missed or if you'd like to discuss it with me at all. If there's any sensitive information involved in anything you'd like to discuss, you can email me through Wikipedia or I am PhantomTech on Libera.Chat's IRC servers with the cloak user/PhantomTech until my wikipedia/PhantomTech cloak request is finished.

- Hi @PhantomTech: This didn't go anywhere that involved me but TheresNoTime might know more :) Sam Walton (talk) 07:06, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
- Thanks :) PHANTOMTECH (talk) 07:10, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
